About Swenson Shears

For over 50 years, Swenson Shear has been supplying the Metal Construction industry with quality and innovative metal-cutting tools. Founded in 1959 by Ralph Swenson, the company started out small with simple, yet effective shears to ease the process of cutting common exposed-fastener panels.

In keeping pace with today’s ever-growing industry, Swenson Shear now offers a larger product line of unique tools to cut hundreds of different metal panels offering a quick and efficient method to shear not only exposed-fastener panels, but also concealed-fastener, stone-coated steel and other metal shingles, shake, trim and soffit.

Though the Swenson Shear of today has evolved since the 1950s, the original quality of Ralph Swenson’s tools has never been compromised. Still family owned and run, our products have been implemented in shops and on jobsites all over the United States, Canada and overseas.

What Swenson Shear Customers and Partners Say

The time and effort that Jonathan Dravecky and the Swenson Team has put into the new SnapTable HD is evident and is the reason why weâre looking to partner going forward. Truthfully this
partnership is a natural fit. With the SnapTable HD, our Drexel panels are beautifully notched and hemmed, providing a seamless cut allowing for a cleaner eve and a more consistent product in
the field.

Brian Partyka, EVP of Drexel Metals

We have used Swenson Shear's tools for the last sixteen years. These shears work remarkably well on various types of jobs for us, including commercial, military, and school projects. Without
a doubt, the thing that keeps me coming back to Swenson, is how strong and reliable the tools are.

Mr. Don Baker, Southern Metal Systems, Wendell, NC

I highly recommend the SnapTable on every job! Swenson Shear's engineering behind the hemmer is genius. I have never seen anything like it. I take the SnapTable to every job site. In fact, I
built a custom trailer and cover for our SnapTable.

Frank Eason, Eason Roofing, York, SC

We own three shears from Swenson and our team has received nothing less than excellent service from them. They save us a lot of time on diagonal cuts on sheet metal and are easy to use. Many
of our customers are residential contractors and we always encourage them to use the Swenson Shear.

Douglas Unruh, Central Steel Building Systems, Louisville, GA

The biggest benefit of the SnapTable is the quality of exposed valley cuts and the amount of time it saves. At first members of our team resisted the SnapTable preferring to snip by hand, but
now, they take to each and every job site.

Jerry Iselin, Metal Roof Specialties, Tacoma, WA

Cornerstone Roofing is a small company located in Panama City, Florida. We have been a customer of Swenson Shear since 2002 when we purchased the Model 64. We found this shear to be a time
saver for cutting hips and valleys on 36 inch screw down panels (AG panel). In April of 2005, we purchased the SnapTable and added the hemmer in February 2012.

This equipment enables us to offer a superior installation while saving us hours of labor cost. If you install metal roofing, let me recommend that you contact Swenson Shear. Their product is
the best, their service is second to none and their staff, well â you wonât find better folks.
